In a bid to garner support for announcing the local poll dates, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal called on seven political parties affiliated to Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) for an emergency meet at his official residence in Baluwatar on Sunday.

It is learn only chairmen of the parties have been invited at the meeting slated for 7pm today.

Morcha leaders, infuriated by the PM’s preparation to announce the local polls dates, are holding a meeting at Bijulibazar. They will leave for PM’s residence after the meeting, it is learnt.
